    Looks good but looks like you have overspray in a few patches over the bay.

    ye its all matt metalic red..might do a clear coat on the top tho..just to seal the paint..cos when the paint gets wet the paint comes off when u dry it..gives me something to do lol

    Use 'Autoglym Vinyl and rubber care', spray it everywhere and when it dries the whole bay will be shiny.

    didnt take long..cover took bout 30 mins..and another 30 mins to do the rest..then put back togeter..took about hour and a half all together..paint dries quick as well..or get the hair dryer on it and will dry extra fast

    matt and metallic at the same time???
    
    matt meaning no shine and metallic meaning metalised ie shiney... now theres an unusual paint!
    
    Looks pretty good all in all but im concerned that the rubber hose you have sprayed really wont last long at all as its not supposed to be painted!?
    
    Looks pretty sweet all in all! wish mine only took me 2 hours! I spent that long alone spraying the ECU cover and steering rack cover lol

    need to get this done asap with mine. keep on seeing nice looking colour coded engine bays like yours that just put my dirty grotty engine bay to shame. its craving some tlc and elbow grease.
    looks good... well done.
